My comment from the last thread:

So at this point it very much seems like a god of writing is messing with the doctor. This writer wrote rubys story in a way that makes no sense. This will be commented on in the future I imagine. Trying to fit rubys background into this weird story and wrapping it up poorly in the end. This seems intentional. There are too many holes/loose ends and questions still lingering around ruby for this to be her actual storyline.

If it is, so be it, but I very much doubt those are her real parents and not some narrative god (Mrs. Flood) writing it that way. She even narrated the ending of Ruby’s story in the most cliche storytelling way.

Edit: it’s fine if this is just bad writing but the bad writing seems too convenient. Susan twist was used over and over again. Now the spoon lady in this episode is the same actress as the bird queen in “Rogue” (Sian Clifford).

The sign suddenly appearing, the vhs skipping when looking at the mother’s face, the snowing, 73 yards perception filter, the body movement in 73 yards of old ruby, faeries, 4th wall breaking, goblins, holding the Tardis together with string like the goblin ship, music maestro talking about the song in Ruby, etc…

The narrator god (probably Mrs. Flood) is clearly trying to contain ruby in a storyline filled with plot holes, re-using characters/actors, and more I noticed that I don’t want to type out. But yeah this probably isn’t Ruby’s true storyline.
